small oil seep from front cylinder
Just bought the 2000 road glide with 42 K miles 95 cubic with 203 cams.It was bored out at 30k the bike starts and idles good . After cleaning it up it has a very small seep at the front cylinder .Is that a big problrm ? Other then tearing it apart,I think it's been that way for awile.

RE: small oil seep from front cylinder
are you talking about the base of the front cylinder where it meets the case. mine had a small leak there. found out i had a stripped head bolt on the front. bike ran great, until i spotted a head gasket leak, which took almost 1200 miles to start. pulled the front head and cylinder, installed heli-coil and new james gaskets and back together, no leak and seems fine. you might look at the front headbolt and see if you can get a wrench on it to check it for tightness. ive heard its common, if bike isnt warmed up, for it to leak there and there is a kit that extends the oil drainback into the case, which mine had and still leaked, from bad headbolt. but thats what id check first. good luck.
